Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We
have tried to make the packaging easy to
separate into three materials: cardboard (box),
polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be
recycled and reused if disassembled by a
specialised company. Please observe the local
regulations regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.

Safety information

● Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or
the voltage indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply. If not, please
consult your dealer.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable

surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in
your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit
and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● The ventilation should not be impeded by

covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to

excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,

should be placed on the apparatus.

● No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall

be placed on the apparatus.

● Don’t expose the system to dripping or

splashing.

● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the

AC power can be reached easily.

● The lens may cloud over when the system is

suddenly moved from cold to warm
surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc.
Leave the system in the warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.

● The mechanical parts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby

mode, it is still consuming some power.
To disconnect the system from the
power supply completely, remove the AC
power plug from the wall socket.

Rear connections

The type plate is located at the rear of the
system.

A Pow e r

– Before connecting the AC power cord to the
wall outlet, ensure that all other connections
have been made.
– If your system is equipped with a Voltage
Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the
local power line voltage.

Warning!
–For optimal performance, use only the
original power cable.
–Never make or change any connections
with the power switched on.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety
circuit has been built in. Therefore, your
system may switch to Standby mode
automatically under extreme conditions. If
this happens, let the system cool down
before reusing it (not available for all versions).

B Antennas Connection

Connect the supplied MW loop antenna and FM
antenna to the respective terminals. Adjust the
position of the antenna for optimal reception.

MW Antenna

● Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV,

VCR or other radiation source.

Preparations

FM Antenna

● For better FM stereo reception, connect an

outdoor FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA
terminal.

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS

terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to
"L", red wires to "+" and black wires to "-" of
the woofer connection terminals, gray wires to
"+" and blue wires to "-" of the tweeter
connection terminals.

1

● Fully insert the stripped por tion of the speaker

wire into the terminal as shown.

Notes:
–For optimal sound performance, use the
supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance
lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

2

● Insert the USB device's USB plug into the

socket on the set.

OR

for the devices with USB cables:

1 Insert one plug of the USB cable (not supplied)

to the socket on the set.

2 Insert the other plug of the USB cable to the

USB output terminal of the USB device.

OR

for the memory card:

1 Insert the memory card into a card reader (not

supplied).

2 Use a USB cable (not supplied) to connect the

Connecting a non-USB device

Use a cinch cable to connect AUX to the
analogue audio out terminals of an external
equipment (TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD
player or CD Recorder).

Note:
– If you are connecting equipment with a mono
output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to
the AUX left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a
“single to double” cinch cable (the output sound
still remain mono).

Inserting batteries into the
remote control

Insert two batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the
remote control with the correct polarity as
indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the
